This is a good situation. If the local team ends up also being a great team, then it looks totally normal to be a fan. It's the Yankees fans that live in South Dakota or Patriots fan in Oklahoma that's weird to me. If you have ties to a city or state, then I have no issue with someone being a fan. Even though I live in LA, I grew up in Wisconsin, so I'll always cheer for the Badgers, Packers, Bucks and Brewers.
